Method

Steps

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
Put the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. As it melts, crumble the sausage meat into it, making the bits quite small, 1/2 inch or less. Add the liquid, and adjust the heat so that the mixture simmers gently.
Cook the pasta until it is tender but not at all mushy. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
Drain the pasta, and dress with the sauce, adding a little of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary. Toss with salt, pepper and Parmesan, and serve.
